These troll-cousins get their name from
the wicked grin always plastered across their evil faces. Leering
trolls feed on the suffering and misery in the creatures they target.
They will eat their victims, eventually, but not before torturing
them as long as possible. If it can drag a victim to its lair, a
leering troll and its companions will torture the helpless creature
for days. This, apparently, is why it grins.

Leering trolls are about 7' tall with
sickly yellow and green skin that is always bursting with painful
sores. They do not regenerate in the same way as their cousins.
Instead, leering trolls will regenerate 1 hit point for each hit
point of damage they inflict upon a target. They are extremely
sensitive to the condition of the target and will avoid killing it
outright. If the target is within 4 hit points of death the troll
will vomit a stinking brown liquid up to 10' at the target. On a
failed save vs. paralysis the target falls into a comatose state. It
will be aware of its surroundings but completely paralyzed and unable
to communicate. If a leering troll hits a target for a deathblow it
does not regenerate hit points for that strike.

The sores on this creature's skin
secrete a flame-repelling goo causing them to take only half damage
from fire-based attacks.
